Looks like it's a permanent situation.
Things i've learned:
you can have incredibly important meetings in your underwear. until a webcam is involved
you can drink beer. all day.
sometimes you have to take calls on the crapper.
VPN sucks goat nuggets
Your kids' invasion in to your personal life now spills over to your work life.
You can't go to ebaums and leave it up because somebody is literally ready to walk in at any point. and they will get much angrier than HR ever will.
i can get away with reading at the desk.
so far, no office sex. **** kids.

I worked from home at an old job. I learned that I'm a lazy, terrible employee when allowed to work from home. If had been required to be on the computer or phone all day, it would have been fine, but it was more a work at your pace on your time deal. I usually didn't even log on until after lunch.

Have the ability to work from home pretty much at will but chose not to for this reason. I would be fired after a couple of months.

We'll see how it goes.
My boss is pretty hesitant to make this switch. The main office is 2 hours away in SAn Antonio and I think their just worried about the lack of phone system in place to just reach out and ping me. It was an easy way for them to make sure I was at the office.
When we took the job it was advertised as a lot of travel but working from home. Then after the hire they got a way too large and way too fancy office. They were pretty hands on because the last 2 people have parted under shady circumstances and I think they just didn't want to get burned.
The last guy worked from home as well and they found out that he was working for a competitor while double dipping working for them, but since he could take the cell with him, they didn't know the difference.
He actually got caught going to a current customer of ours presenting himself as my company while trying to get them to sign the contract for the competitor.
